Why not "Bitroom", "Byteroom" or "Pixelroom" or any other name that gives it a more digital flavour, for lack of a better word ie...something not related to the darkroom? Because, when I think of "Lightroom", the first word that I think of is "Darkroom".jj

Apple took the good one with Aperture. Maybe Adobe should call Lightroom "Iris."[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=56042\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Lightroom is appropriate. There are huge numbers of photographers and/or snapshooters who would have liked to have had their own darkroom and dabble in a bit of wet processing, were it not for the sheer inconvenience of creating a darkroom with sealed windows, dishes, chemicals enlargers and other equipment, not to mention the health hazard.

In the digital era, the lightroom takes the place of the darkroom so not why not call it what it is.
